A report issued by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) puts two reactor
shutdowns at Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant in Lusby at the top of its list of
near misses in 2014.
Those two incidents, which resulted from snow being blown into critical electri-
cal systems, were part of a group of four incidents that have taken place since 2010.
The UCS was critical of the handling of the shutdown of reactors No. 1 and No.
2 by Exelon Corporation, the plants owners, and differed with the finding of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that the plant personnel could not have prevented it.
Twice within the past five years, precipitation leaked into the Calvert Cliffs
nuclear plant and shorted out electrical power supplies, causing one reactor to automatically shut down and components to malfunction that should have protected
the second reactor from automatically shutting down, the report said. Precipitation occurs all across the United States and hits dozens of nuclear power plants, but
none except Calvert Cliffs have experienced multiple reactor shutdowns due
to similar intrusions of moisture.
In other words, other plant owners have successfully prevented even one intrusion event while Calvert Cliffs has been unable to prevent repeated events.
Lacey Dean, spokeswoman for Exelon Corporation, said despite the concerns
of the UCS Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which oversees the operations of all
nuclear plants in the county, sided with Exelon.
The report from the NRC showed we handled the situation correctly, Dean
told The County Times.
An official statement from Exelon said that the incident in question in the UCS
report was not just caused by simple precipitation.
Calvert Cliffs has a strong history of safe, reliable operations and high standards for equipment maintenance. In January 2014, we experienced an electrical
malfunction when severe winds damaged an outdoor electrical enclosure, the statement read. The plant is designed to shutdown automatically and it responded as
designed. The NRCs supplemental inspection report confirms that the condition
was fully addressed and that our actions and responses were appropriate.

A Pomfret man was transported to MedStar Washington Hospital Center after
he received serious burns to his upper torso Monday evening.
On March 16, around 7:58 p.m., approximately 50 firefighters from the La Plata,
Bryans Road, Waldorf, Potomac Heights, Accokeek, Marbury, Indian Head, Bel Alton, and Naval District Washington fire departments responded to the Oakwood
Lane residence.
The victim was identified as Leonard Painter, 64, whom officials say was smoking while receiving medical oxygen therapy at the time of the fire. According to a
Maryland State Fire Marshals Office press release, the oxygen enriched atmosphere
ignited in flames and caused Painters clothing to catch on fire.
Carla Painter, the victims wife, located her husband and evacuated him to the
exterior of the residence, with the assistance of Charles County Sheriffs Office
deputies, where he could receive initial treatment by first arriving EMS units, the
release stated.
The victim was promptly transported to MedStar Washington Hospital Center via Maryland State Police Aviation in critical condition. The victims wife was
transported to Charles Regional Medical Center for treatment of minor smoke inhalation injuries.
Firefighters were able to contain the fire within five minutes to the room of origin. The fire caused an estimated $80,000 in damage.

Sentenced to Five Years

A Prince Frederick man was sentenced to 18 months at the Calvert County Detention Center for his role in a convenience store armed robbery.
On Wednesday, March 11, Judge Mark Chandlee sentenced Thomas Brian
Smith, Jr., to 10 years with all but 18 months suspended, for his part in the Good
Day Market armed robbery.
According to police reports, Smith was the driver of the getaway vehicle during
the Aug. 3, 2014 robbery of the Good Day Market; he was also the driver in the Sept.
2, 2014 home invasion/armed robbery of a Prince Frederick residence.
Assistant States Attorney Kathryn Marsh, who prosecuted the case, stated the
defendants crimes were drug-fueled.
Anthony Mayo, Smiths defense attorney, stated his client was gainfully employed at the time of his arrest and said his client was a volunteer for the Prince
Frederick Rescue Squad. Mayo also stated his client has an 11-year-old son and an
eight-year-old daughter.
Smiths mother, father and wife were present during the hearing and addressed
the court during the proceedings.
Not only is he a wonderful father and husband, he is an overall great man,
Danielle Hayes said of her husband.
Brian doesnt have a violent bone in his body. He needs to be out; he needs to
be home, Nancy Smith said.
Mayo said his client has been a model inmate and attends Alcoholics Anonymous and religious services at the facility on a regular basis.
Before the judge handed down his sentence, Smith was given a chance to speak.
I do have an opiate problem and I take full responsibility for my actions, he
stated to the court.
Im glad you acknowledged the problem you have with drugs[but] you cant
just hide behind the fact that you were just driving, the judge stated to the defendant.
Judge Chandlee ordered Smith to complete the JSAP program, which is the

Scouting
Evan K.
Slaughenhoupt Jr. (R)
Boy Scouts of America (BSA) was inspired by and modeled on the Boy Scout Association established by Baden-Powell in Britain in 1908; and became incorporated on February
8, 1910. In the early 1900s, several youth organizations were active, and many became part
of the BSA.
The annual National Girl Scout Day March 12 celebrates Girl Scouting that began March
12, 1912, when Juliette Gordon Low organized the first Girl Scout troop meeting. From its
initial forming of 18 girls, this organization grew to over 3.7 million members.
Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scout program. Girl Scout Gold
Award is the highest rank attainable by Girl Scouts.
Four Percent: The Story of Uncommon Youth in a Century of American Life, by Michael Malone explains how so very few scouts achieve this highest rank, but also the story of
many Eagles a President of the United States, astronauts (including Neil Armstrong), Medal
of Honor recipients, Nobel prize winning scientists, authors, movie stars, titans of industry,
Senators, Congressmen and Governors, civil rights leaders, and many others. The book also
mentions the achievement of Girl Scout Gold as well.
When our scouts in Calvert County achieve these highest honors, County Commissioners
are invited to attend the award ceremonies hosted by the scout parents. Commissioners strive
to attend these events. Typically, Commissioner Pat Nutter, who purchased the Four Percent
book explains why he brings that book with him and requests the scouts signature within its
pages. He now has over 200 such signatures.
As a Commissioner, I typically have the honor of reading the formal Proclamation recognizing the awarding of these highest honors as well as introducing to the audience former
Commissioner Linda Kelley, who is the Board of County Commissioners Ambassador to
Scouting. Commissioner Kelley provides tailored remarks and presents a Calvert County Flag
gift to the scout so that individual may always remember where they were raised, loved, and
where they earned their highest scouting award.
Having attended many of these ceremonies it does give hope that Americas future is
bright with these young people as our future leaders. To learn more about both organizations,
consult www.scouting.org and www.girlscouts.org.

Sheriffs Office
Tackling Drug Epidemic
By Lauren Procopio
Staff Writer
We have this drug issue in this county. We took
that idea and ran with it, Sheriff Mike Evans (R) said.
This new idea is the expansion of narcotic canines
within the sheriffs department.
Sergeant Kent Gregory said by the end of the expansion the department will have 12 new police dogs
five specifically for patrol and seven for special
operations.
Patrol is the backbone of the agency; theyre the
ones you see on the road, handling calls every day and
running traffic stops, Gregory said.
Gregory explained that the five dogs will be added
to the patrol bureau in order to guarantee that a narcotic dog is available every day and at all hours of the
day. He said the department already had three dogs go
through the initial training and they will add two more
dogs. Gregory stated that when the expansion is completed in August the sheriffs office would have one
single-purpose narcotic dog on every patrol and one assigned to the North Beach and Chesapeake Beach area.
The five in patrol are just single-purpose drug
dogs, [the] dual trained dogs and the bomb dogs - they
all fall under special operations, he stated.
Gregory said that four of the single-purpose narcotic dogs for patrol are paid for by drug money that
was seized; the other canine was donated to the department. Gregory said the canines prices range from
roughly $4,000 to $7,500.
Gregory said the K-9 unit, in training, falls under
special operations. These patrol dogs, unlike the single-purpose drug dogs, have a set of 10 skills, which
are evidence and article search; detection; building
search; area search; aggression control; outs; recalls;
gunfire; and tracking. Gregory explained that evidence
search could consist of a suspect disposing of a weapon,
which the canine needs to locate; article search could
be if a police officer loses the magazine to his gun, then
the canine will have the ability to locate it. Detection
is the dogs ability to actually locate narcotics; building search is the canines ability to find a suspect; area

Friends of Calvert
Library Launch
New Website
The Friends of Calvert Library (FOCL) is pleased to announce the launch of a new website,
folcalvert.org. The new website has been in development for the past three months, said FOCL
Board Vice President and web designer Laura Allison. She noted that the old website was out
of date and didn't provide the functionality needed by the organization. The new website allows
individuals to join FOCL and get information on upcoming FOCL events, in addition to previewing items for sale in the FOCL gift shop at Calvert Library, Prince Frederick.
FOCL Board President Martha Grahame is excited about the new website. Grahame said,
"It will help the FOCL keep up with the library system it supports and the needs of the public."
FOCL is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that advocates for and supports
Calvert Library. The group contributes to the library by offering financial support for equipment
and programs not normally paid for by public funding. Funds are raised through membership
fees, donations, book sales and special events. Friends also support the library in other ways
such as by volunteering their time.

said event chairman Eric Faughnan. This year, there will be a
shuttle system throughout the event. Public parking in Solomons
includes the lots behind Urgent Care and Our Lady Star of the
Sea, as well as the Riverwalk lot.
Taste of Solomons is a one-day food festival showcasing
places to eat in Solomons. Food and drink tickets are $4 apiece and are available for purchase
at each participating restaurant and the ticket booth located at The McNelis Group. There are
a number of restaurants participating in the event for the first time this year, Faughnan said.
Most restaurants will participate in a Gift Certificate Prize program, which is another new
addition this year. Some of the tickets at each location will be designated as prizewinners, and
the lucky purchaser will be awarded a gift certificate for future use at the respective restaurant.
Proceeds benefit the Solomons Business Associations annual July 4th Fireworks Display.
A Taste of Solomons will be held March 28 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, visit

The community stepped up in a big way to support lacrosse and continues

Jocelyn Alvarenga, Stephanie Ferguson and Nicole Kearney of Waldorf.
Strong lacrosse programs exist in Calvert, Charles and St. Marys county
high schools, and now there are opportunities for students to play at the collegiate
level while attending community college in Southern Maryland, said CSM Student Life and Athletics Lead Director Michelle Ruble.
Arter is also head coach for the Cyclones of Southern Maryland Club. Previously, Arter was assistant coach and head coach of girls lacrosse at Calvert High
School, assistant lacrosse coach at Northern High School and she served as Special
Olympics of Calvert County soccer coach. She is a U.S. Lacrosse Certified Coach.

From My Backyard
to Our Bay was first
developed by the Baltimore
County Soil Conservation
District. From there, the
booklet was given to each
of the Soil Conservation
Districts in the Chesapeake
Bay watershed area for
customization. If the 17.5
million residents who live in
the watershed area of the
Chesapeake Bay read this
booklet, and took to heart
its suggestions and best
practices, the Chesapeake
Bay would see a dramatic
increase in health. Obtain
a FREE copy of the
booklet by going to the St.
Marys River Watershed
Association, smrwa.org and
downloading it. The booklet
is available at Wentworth
Nursery in Charlotte Hall;
Chicken Scratch in Park
Hall; The Greenery in
Hollywood; Good Earth
Natural Food; and the St.
Marys Soil Conservation
District in Leonardtown.
Join your local watershed
association and make a
difference for Our Bay!

Forest Stewardship
Forest land is important to the overall
health of the Chesapeake Bay. Forests
provide several layers, from the canopy
to the forest floor, that act as filters,
improve water quality, reduce sedimentation, remove nutrients, and regulate
stream flow during storms.
Marylands 2.5 million acres of forest,
most of it privately owned, cover approximately 42% of its land area. St.
Marys Countys land area is about 50%
forested, and has more than 400 miles
of shoreline. Wooded buffers along
these shorelines are critical to improving Bay health. Acre for acre, forested
lands produced the least amount of runoff and pollution. The County occupies
a forest transitional zone, where the
dominant tree species vary from oak/
hickory to tulip poplar to sweet gum/red
maple and loblolly pine.
Forests can be harvested on a sustainable basis for materials, including
structural lumber, crates, shelving
and furniture, flooring, mulch, and
pulp for paper. Forests can, in most
cases, provide these products while

Stay safe
around
power lines
With the return of spring, many people
are excited to head outdoors and
get started on some projects around
the house and yard. Its important to
stay safe and be aware of overhead
power lines. Look up.
Never climb power poles or
transmission towers.
Never climb trees near power lines.
Keep equipment away from
overhead lines when carrying
ladders, pool skimmers, and
pruning tools.
If you are doing work close to
power linessuch as trimming
trees, working on your roof, or doing
exterior renovationskeep yourself,
your ladder and anything you are
handling a safe distance from the
power line.
In addition to
overhead lines,
SMECO has many
underground
electric lines. Call
Miss Utility at 811
before you dig.
Contact SMECO to
disconnect power if
you are doing work that
requires close contact with
overhead lines attached to
your home.
Use a licensed electrician
for all electrical work.
